Great for these types of students

it is great for students who may not have done so well in high school, but are willing to make an effort to be academically prepared for a four year university/college or who are searching for a leg-up in the workforce.

Tips for prospective students

check around for prices on the books you need instead of settling for the bookstore price, unless the teacher has other material with your book. do not slack in any class, they all affect your gpa. if you are on financial aid poor grades and poor attendance could especially affect your financial aid.

Bang for the buck

for $136 a credit hour a decent education is available to anyone willing to make an earnest attempt to get most for their money.

Academic Rigor

depending on how well a student does on the placement test or the act test determines the classes that a particular student will be placed in, which can range from remedial courses to college-level classes. so no matter the academic aptitude of the student they will be individually challenged.

Christina from Mobile, AL

very safe camup security gards drive around parking and facility area 24/7

Greek Life

none

Clubs and Activities

Lots of clubs and activities to choose from like Art clubs, HOSA health club, and honers club.

Great for these types of students

Nursing majors and anything with computers. And if you dont want to put a hole in your bank from student loans.

Bang for the buck

Great for getting your basics out of the way for a cheap price. If you get a pell grant it covers almost everything.

What to do for fun

meet new friends and have study groups

Food and Dining

No dining at this campus.

Dorm Life

No dorms at this campus.

Tips for prospective students

look for other options at other books stores or online for books. And when its time to sell your book I would not recommend selling back to book store I would recommend selling online. Bishops book store does not give you no where near what you paid for it.

In three sentences

Great atmosphere. Staff welcomes everyone with open arms. Lots of majors to chose from.

Eli from Mobile, AL

The campus safety I would give 5 stars. They watch just about everything that comes onto the campus and are very cautious. A very safe and secure environment.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

At the beginning of the year they have visitors from banks and other different companies to join are learn about.

What to do for fun

Hang out and read a book in the lobby. Near a lot of great downtown restaurants to eat at. Lot of areas to socialize with friends.

Food and Dining

Not many dining areas other than vending machines.

Dorm Life

No dorms available

Academic Rigor

Students work very hard. Good overall gpas for current students attending. Definitely an all work no play environment.

Tips for prospective students

.It's a very nice college to attend and very friendly staff. Easy to navigate around school. Good atmosphere and no upsetting features

In three sentences

The environment of friendly staff most impressed me. Also the patience and consideration for each individual student made me feel right at home. Last I would like to see that the aspect I favor the most is the organization of cetain things such as: registration for classes, schedule changes, and the financial aid consultants was superb.

What to do for fun

I love to be outside and plant flowers. I also love to take my children to the beach for some fun in the sun.

Tips for prospective students

Research you school before you commit to going there.

In three sentences

Bishop is not the perfect school that I would have wanted to attend, but this is the closest school that offers my degree. I feel very unprotected upon arrival of the school. Most of the staff is very unpleasant to deal with.
